They’re saying that in the same way terrorist is not always a slur but is used as a slur sometimes, Zionist can be used as a slur. I think it’s a fair take. It’s odd to specifically list Zionist as a contextual slur when you can just say no slurs.
I don’t know if I fully agree but that’s their argument as I understand it.
Edit: Idk why people are down voting me trying to explain someone’s argument.
Opt out telemetry is annoying. There’s no guarantee it doesn’t send before I’ve had a chance to disable.
By mathy I mean related to math
Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to use both!
I miss that ringtone though.
Especially when sites like Reddit/StackExchange use admin to mean employee and moderator to mean volunteer community leader.
I feel you, but Mastodon has about 9 million users and BlueSky has 15 million (if the first results from a search index are to be trusted), but I could not find anywhere even close to 60% of the people in this hobby on Mastodon as I have on BlueSky.
There was a very concentrated push recently of artists (I think it was artists originally) to go to BlueSky and it’s sort of echoed into similarish hobbies. So that’s probably why the user makeup is a little different.
Not enough people on Mastodon are into the things I was using Twitter/use BlueSky for.
For me there weren’t enough people on Mastodon in my hobby to make it worthwhile.
I use(d) Twitter for niche interactive hobbies that didn’t have enough people on Mastodon to engage with.
Some professors are just so wack… Like, if I copy your notes verbatim I’m also “stealing” your intellectual property just as much as taking a photo.
STOP! YOU’VE VIOLATED THE LAW!
Compare this to one of my college professors who would come in, Google the topic, find another universities notes to use, and then complain about them. Worst teacher ever. (He literally fell asleep during students’ presentations and then berated them about weird minute details.)
Wasn’t it like Napster in that originally it was for pirating text books?
Whenever my wife and I are talking about our washer and drier we joke that it has “13 left” (instead of “13 minutes left”) because the UI only says 13 and it often goes up again lol.
I’m not interested in exploring 100% of content either, but I hate when games artificially block content off. For narrative reasons, I don’t care. I don’t mind the idea of mutually exclusive companions based on choices in game. But something as minor as gender at character creation? Come on now!
do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises? Is Wicked as big as Harry Potter was?
Do you think people view Victorious as a popular franchise today?
There’s a massive difference between suing and striking. Suing someone means you’re intending to take them to court. A copyright strike is different. I forget if copyright strike implies DMCA or content ID. DMCA possibly involves lawyers (honestly can’t remember) but it removes the content from the site and that’s it (you only go to court if you disagree and they push back). Content ID is an automated process that either removes sounds, portions of videos, or takes a portion of ad revenue.
If you do something like refer to all white people or all Germans as Nazis then yeah, in that context it’s a slur. But just referring to members of the Nazi party, definitely not. Extreme far right folks, personally no, I don’t view it as a slur there. Some people may disagree (probably the extreme far right people being called Nazis).
